NeXtMidas Shell
Modes of Operation

- NeXtMidas provides several shell operating modes:
- Interactive
- The shell is explicitly started using
nm , and commands are
entered in response to the shell prompt.
- This uses a conventional, text-based command window for interaction.
$ nm
nM>
- One-Shot
- A single command is run from the operating system prompt. A temporary shell
is started to manage command execution.
- Usually used to launch a finished application.
-
$ nm myapp
<Runs the MYAPP application and exits.>
$
- Applet
- NeXtMidas is run as an applet in a browser.
